team to make guitar

[Ladios]

well this idea is based off of guitar hero sorta
what i plan to do is have a guitar that will play notes (and possibly songs later)

what i need is someone to model it (MODEL MUST WORK) and maybe some experianced coder to assist or whatever.. and eventually someone with too much time on their hands to make the codes

basically when you take it out it puts the player into a state that reassigns the buttons
i was thinking Q W E and R to play the basic notes
the left arrow or right arrow, wehn held down, will shift the selection lower or higher leaving a total of 12 possible notes (not including chords or whatever)

so when the note is played it will play a guitar note sound corrisponding to which note was hit
fairly simple in idea

the trick will come later in making the songs and gui so the player can play the song but until then i am hoping to get at least a little help so i can get this thing off te ground

I can model it, but not code it

Can i help with the model?

[Ladios]

all help is welcome
the main coding thing i want help on is how to make it so the player now is only playing notes after clicking when guitar is out then clicking again stops playing notes, i have an idea that this would work somewhat like skis but i really am lost

[Masterlegodude]

Yeah, it don't work, dunno why, is very odd, no?

Won't the random colour thing at the start just choose one colour and then keep using that, rather than a different one each time?

[Terror]

Yes xD

[Masterlegodude]

It made different colors in RTB everytime i started up my server with the item that has that

[Packer]

This is like a full loving rip off of Guitar Hero/Lord of The Rings Online.

[SuperMunkay]

Just because you have a guitar that plays notes and songs doesn't mean it's a rip off of Guitar Hero.

[stevey1000]

lol this idea fully rips of world of warcraft/star trek battle armada

[Packer]

You do know in Lord of The Rings Online you can play music with instruments?

[Marcem]

will this be electric or acustic (if electric i will make recordings for it)

[Ladios]

electric i beleive
i need 12 sequential notes but a bit spaced apart so it can cover the lowest and highest notes and the very middle note and all the major ones between

[Aloshi]

I may help with the coding if I get extra time...but it would probably need some client-side binding things...once you have the musics it's easy enough. :D

[Ladios]

yeah
what i really want to do is find a way to get it so on mousefire it puts the player in a state that the zxcv play notes then on mousefire it leaves that state
